Jordan's First Labour Union Document Highlighted On International Workers' Day
(MENAFN- Jordan Times)
AMMAN - To mark the International Workers' Day, the Royal Hashemite Documentation Centre has unveiled a historical document chronicling the establishment of Jordan's first labour union.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the centre said that the document originally appeared in Al Jamia Al Arabiya, a newspaper published in Jerusalem between 1927 and 1935.
It is also cited in the book Popular Participation in Building the Jordanian State (1921–1946) by researcher Suhaila Shalabi.
The records reveal that the union, named the Jordanian Workers' Aid Association, was founded on May 2, 1932.
According to the centre, the organisation was created to regulate labour affairs, safeguard workers' rights, and promote local production during a pivotal period of economic and social transformation in the Kingdom.
